The invention relates to improvements in building brackets and an object of the in vention is to provide a simplyconstructed,

' inexpensive, relatively light but durable;

With the above more importantobject inleview, the invention consists essentially inthe arrangement and construction of parts here fa V H "flanges of the barsl and2 by the bolt 6.

inafter moreparticularly described, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which as it appears in suspended position.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed sectional view showing the joint formed between the V upwardlyand outstanding bars.

the upstanding bars and the outstanding bar.

.In forming the bracket,Iprovide a pair of upstanding bars 11 and 2,;a pair of outstanding bars 3 and 45 and a single brace bar 3 5. The bars are preferably of angle iron andthe lower ends of the inturned flanges of the bars 1 and 2 are, lapped and are pivotally connected together by r a bottom bolt .6, such permitting of said bars being folded together when. not in use. c c c The upperv ends of the bars 1 and "2 are l provided with key hole .slots'7 and'8 uti-' lized to receive supporting'nails ,9 and 10 driven into a wall 11 or other vertical strud v 40 ture. The bars3 andl have the horizontal bars 3 and 4: have their vertical flanges pivotally connected to the upper ends of the outconnections being made in each instance'by a bolt 13 which permits of a limited amount of loose play atthe connection, that is, which v Fig. 1 is a perspective view of ,thebracket Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed vertical sectional View through the upper end of one of,

The lower end of. the ve-rtical flange of the 'bar'5'is also cut awayand the other flange is down turned and is fastened to the inturned Inpractice, a ,pair ofbrackets would be used to'support a'platform-from a wall and at such time, one would drive the nails 9 and 10 into the wallspacing them a suflicient distance .apart'tohold the upper ends of the V I holes'lots and passing them up into the conp a tracted ends, theheads of the nails at such time'preventing the bars from escaping outi wardly. When the brackets are. in place, the bars 1 and2 rest against the wall, the bars 3 and 4: are spread to effectively support the effectively holds up theforward ends of the Whenthe device is not in use, the bars 1 and 2 are folded towards one anothenand What I claim as my inventi n is o boards placed thereon and the brace bar 5.;

1. A building L wall bracket comprlsingia f I i I pair of upstandingbarseach presenting "a1 W g g g flange and an outstanding flange at rightan'gles "thereto and having the wall engaging flanges thereof lapped at their lower ends and pivotallyconnected together and their upper ends provided with bars each presenting an inturned and a down turned flange and having the inturned flanges standing flanges of the bars 1 and 2, the pivot thereof lapped at their forward ends and pivotally connected together and the down I I of the'upright bars, and a brace bar extending v between thepivotally Connected ends of the horizontal bars and the pivotally connected ends of the vertical'bars.

J 2. A building Wall bracket comprising a pair of upright bars each presenting a Wall engaglng flange and. an outstanding flange at right angles thereto and having their Wall engagingfianges lapped at the lower ends of the bars and pivotally connected together by a pivotbolt and saidrinturned flanges at the upper ends provided with key hole slots,

a pair of horizontally disposed barseach presenting an inturned and a down turned flange and having the 'inturne'd flanges thereof lapped at their forward ends and pivotally connected t-ogetherby, a pivot bolt and the 1 down tiirnedflanges thereof pivotally connected at the r inner ends to the outturned flanges ofthe vertical bars by'pivot bolts and a brace bar extending between the ipivotally connected 'forward ends of the horizontal bars cember,v1928.
